Franchise Partners

Franchise Partners is a comprehensive public relations and marketing service for multiunit franchise operators.

RPR’s Franchise Partners program is designed for both start-up and established franchises. Our franchise program provides:

•   Critical reputation management and marketing services

•   Social marketing

RPR has placed stories in Business Travel News, Franchise-UK, Franchising World, Franchise Times, Inside Business, Yahoo Travel, USA Today, the New York Times and many other media.

How it works: The Franchise Partners program begins with an analysis of the franchisee’s specific needs. Then it’s customized to achieve agreed-to objectives and goals. The program can supplement franchisor initiatives as well.

For starters, we can:

•   Build your brand
•   Increase sales
•   Establish and guard your good reputation
•   Educate or inform your customers or audiences
•   Help your company be a good employer and corporate neighbor

And in challenging times for your company, RPR can:

•   Make sure news stories are balanced
•   Help maintain communication with employees
•   Devise and implement a plan to win back customers

We accomplish this through a variety of proactive, strategic tactics.

"RPR knows the franchise market segment. In less than two years, their public relations programs earned Value Place national news coverage and got our messages to the right audiences — even though we were a young company with
no name recognition.”

--- Gina-Lynn Scharoun, president of Value Place Franchise Services. Scharoun turned to RPR twice to help grow two brands — first at Candlewood Suites, and later at Value Place Franchise Services.
